i see mike wheat, levi bleam, and wayne varner are all trying to unload their overpriced crap that they have had for years. i know because mike wheat is still trying to sell 1960 yankee team card sgc 88 that i sold to him in 2002!! |

Business must be good. I'll never understand why some of these folks insist on not being flexible with clearly-overpriced stuff with BIN only. |

the funny thing is that guys like wayne varner who bought alot of stuff raw in the 70's and early 80's. he has since had alot graded, received his psa and gai 9's, and still puts ridiculous prices on things. he has nothing into these raw cards that he bought 25+ years ago, but still won't give you a decent price. he doesn't need the money so he could care less if the card sits in his inventory for years. he will either get his price or he will have the card buried with him. |

I see some of that stuff, and would occasionally like to make an offer, but am dissuaded by the marketing approach |

they're not flexible because they don't need the money!! they will get the price they want or they will dust the card off until they die. that is why alot of these dealers are ignorant at shows unless you want to drop 10 grand on their table. it is their way of telling you they don't need your business and don't waste their time for a 50 dollar item. |

here is a prime example, this is an easy card, it lists for 200 in smr, yet wheat's opening bid is 300, i guarantee this won't sell!! |

Well guys, that's the shameful part. Your much more likely to come across an unsophisticated buyer on E-Bay than at an auction. |

About 6 months ago, I offered the 707 card guy $1,100. for his 1949 Satchel Paige PSA 6. He wouldn't budge from his BIN of $1,250. |

I planned to auction off four Sam Crawford cards last night. As soon as I saw that ebay was planning the one cent day for today, I postponed my auctions until next week. I didn't want them to get lost in the sea of overpriced cards that won't sell. |

Smart, Brian. Same here. One interesting thing is that all these overpriced cards on ebay today don't have too high BINs, hardly any BINs at all. They are all using too high starting bids. The prices on most all of these cards are ridiculous. |

i hate when the dealers load all their crap every 3 months or so when this special happens. how in the world does the 707 guy sell enough cards to stay in business? he obviously does, but his prices are rediculous for over graded material. he made a killing when another board member was building a psa 8 set of 33 goudeys last year, but that doesnt happen every month. i have to take my hat off to Joe's Vintage Sportscards...a year ago his prices were way to high and inflexible, since then they have re-evaluated and now have very fair prices and i have been able to secure some terrific 33 goudeys for my set. Now Joe's is moving alot of inventory. I cant imagine ever doing a deal with 707. |

The thing about 707 is that they must be spending a lot on advertising, that's probably how they generate sales. I see their ads in almost all the hobby periodicals that I look at. |

It doesn't matter when an auction starts, it's when it ends that's important. A 3, 5 or 10 day auction would do the trick of not getting buried in with the overpriced delers. |

I don't really even look at ebay from the time dump day starts until those listings have ended. It's not worth it to wade through it all. Unfortunately, I really don't look at items that start after the dump items are listed either - I just sit it out for a week. |

There's another way to look at it though. Some good material may fall through the cracks with all that crap to wade through. Plus if enough of you folks decide to take the week off there's bound to be some deals for the rest of us Have a nice vacation |

First and seventh days are the worse. Sort by "newly listed" on the first day and it's a zoo. Sort by "ending today" on the last day you can forget it. In between you're OK with the "newly listed" sort. All this BS is stuck in the middle. |

Speaking of which, that darn Tango Eggs Jennings with a starting bid of $1395 is back. (Sorry to let the cat out of the bag for anyone who was planning on getting a steal). |

On ebay if you click on the little yellow tab that says "Auctions" you will weed out all of the BIN's....then do a search on "ending soonest" and it will weed the rest of the dump day stuff out...until the last day. At that point go read a book. |

these "dumpers" insult the intelligence of the average vintage card collector with their high priced auctions. Much of Mike Wheats cards have been for sale for years, and will probably continue that way after thiese auctions are over. If they sell 5% of what they have listed I bet they'll be happy |

If you collect obscure things, dump days can often bring out stuff that just doesn't surface otherwise. I've gotten some nice cards on these days. |

As someone who often lists on dump day, all the overpriced listings just kill me. |
